Hello Estate Residents.
We have a busy month ahead, including a special Mother’s Day Brunch and some new
outing's and programs planned. Join us for our month in review Wednesday May 1st at 10:00

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the residents who have stepped up and
helped facilitate our Bingos, cribbage, Happy Hours , calendar distribution., and caring for
our fairy garden, give yourselves a bog pat on the back, you deserve it! I once again, am
looking forward to another fabulous month with you all.

May Education: Eye Health
Is that blue or green? The cells in our eyes that control the way we see colour become less sensitive as we age, which results in less colour vibrancy. This makes it more difficult to distinguish certain colour shades.
Changes in light levels. Adjusting to changes in light levels (eg, going out into, or coming in from, a sunny day, or walking into a dimly lit theatre or restaurant) can take two to three times longer than it did when we were younger.
Fewer tears. As we get older, the tear glands in our eyes produce fewer tears leading to more frequent stints of dry eyes and irritation. Blurry vision, eye fatigue and headaches may be the result of dry eye, and a sign you should see your optometrist.
More light please. With age, our pupil sizes become smaller and less responsive to changes in light conditions, which means our eyes require more light than they once did to see clearly. Good lighting at home and at work help to prevent falls associated with poor lighting.
Increase the font size. Small font sizes become a thing of the past as we age, the result of the lenses in our eyes becoming less flexible, making near objects less clear and more difficult to focus on. Proper eyeglass or contact lens prescriptions can correct issues associated with reading small font and can help prevent eyestrain.
Turn down the glare. Glare is light that enters the eye and interferes with vision. Special lenses, sunglasses and even surgery can be required to deal with glare.
Ocular diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration can lead to vision impairment and affect activities of daily living.
Meet us in the classroom Tuesday May 21st at 10:00 a.m. for more information on Eye Health
